 Free Download Theorizing Myth: Narrative, Ideology, and Scholarship By Bruce Lincoln 1999 | 313 Pages | ISBN: 0226482014 | PDF | 51 MB In Theorizing Myth, Bruce Lincoln traces the way scholars and others have used the category of "myth" to fetishize or deride certain kinds of stories, usually those told by others.He begins by showing that mythos yielded to logos not as part of a (mythic) "Greek miracle," but as part of struggles over political, linguistic, and epistemological authority occasioned by expanded use of writing and the practice of Athenian democracy. Lincoln then turns his attention to the period when myth was recuperated as a privileged type of narrative, a process he locates in the political and cultural ferment of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Here, he connects renewed enthusiasm for myth to the nexus of Romanticism, nationalism, and Aryan triumphalism, particularly the quest for a language and set of stories on which nation-states could be founded.In the final section of this wide-ranging book, Lincoln advocates a fresh approach to the study of myth, providing varied case studies to support his view of myth-and scholarship on myth-as ideology in narrative form.

 Free Download Theorising Modernity: Reflexivity, Environment & Identity in Giddens' Social Theory By Martin O'Brien, Sue Penna, Colin Hay 1998 | 236 Pages | ISBN: 0582307430 | EPUB | 4 MB What is modernity? Do we all experience modernity in the same way? How should we understand contemporary social change? This volume explores questions of modernity through critical engagements with the work of Anthony Giddens, focusing in particular on the relationships between his social theory and political sociology. Three substantive areas - reflexivity, environment and identity - are examined theoretically through the relationships between reflexivity and rationality, life politics and institutional power, and universalism and 'difference'.As well as specifically addressing Giddens' reconstruction of sociology, the contributors also explore a wide variety of critical issues currently occupying centre stage in social theory. These include questions about the character of contemporary societies, the periodisation of social change, the processes of change by which societies are constantly made and remade by people, the relationships between the 'social' and the 'natural', the formation and maintenance of identities and matters of epistemology and methodology in social science.Theorising Modernity will be of interest to undergraduate and postgraduate students of sociology, modern political thought, social geography and social policy and to social scientists trying to make sense of the modernity debate.Martin O'Brien is Research at the University of Derby. Sue Penna is a Lecturer in Applied Social Science at Lancaster University.

Free Download Lyn English, "Theories of Mathematics Education: Seeking New Frontiers" English | 2010 | pages: 650 | ISBN: 3642261183, 3642007414 | PDF | 5,7 mb Advances in Mathematics Education is a new and innovative book series published by Springer that builds on the success and the rich history of ZDM―The Inter- tional Journal on Mathematics Education (formerly known as Zentralblatt für - daktik der Mathematik). One characteristic of ZDM since its inception in 1969 has been the publication of themed issues that aim to bring the state-of-the-art on c- tral sub-domains within mathematics education. The published issues include a rich variety of topics and contributions that continue to be of relevance today. The newly established monograph series aims to integrate, synthesize and extend papers from previously published themed issues of importance today, by orienting these issues towards the future state of the art. The main idea is to move the ?eld forward with a book series that looks to the future by building on the past by carefully choosing viable ideas that can fruitfully mutate and inspire the next generations. Taking ins- ration from Henri Poincaré (1854-1912), who said "To create consists precisely in not making useless combinations and in making those which are useful and which are only a small minority.  Free Download Timothy Koschmann, "Theories of Learning and Studies of Instructional Practice" English | 2011 | pages: 483 | ISBN: 1441975810, 146142867X | PDF | 6,7 mb This is a book about an attempt to change the way math was taught in a particular classroom. Its title plays on our everyday usage of the terms theory and practice. In education, these terms are conventionally treated oppositionally―we have theories about what we should do and we have what teachers actually do do. In this way, theory stands prior, logically and chronologically, to practice; practice inevitably becoming theory's imperfect realization. We seek in this volume, however, to develop a different stance with regard to the relationship between the two. Taking the details of instructional practice as our principle object of study, we explore what role theories of learning might play in illuminating such practices. The book is about actual practices by which teaching is done and how contemporary theories of learning might help us understand those practices. It seeks to provide a foundation for future practice-based inquiry in education, by addressing the methodological question: How do we go about studying instructional practice in a principled way?  Free Download Ronald J. Terchek, Thomas C. Conte, John Locke, "Theories of Democracy: A Reader" English | 2000 | pages: 328 | ISBN: 084769724X, 0847697258 | EPUB | 0,5 mb Theories of Democracy builds on Robert Dahl's observation that there is no single theory of democracy; only theories. Beyond the broad commitment to rule by the majority, democracy involves a set of contentious debates concerning the proper function and scope of power, equality, freedom, justice, and interests. In this anthology, Ronald J. Terchek and Thomas C. Conte have brilliantly assembled the works of classical, modern, and contemporary commentators to illustrate the deep and diverse roots of the democratic ideal, as well as to provide materials for thinking about the way some contemporary theories build on different traditions of democratic theorizing. The arguments addressed in Theories of Democracy appear in the voices of authors who have championed influential theories concerning the opportunities and dangers associated with democratic politics. In this collection, Terchek and Conte have selected excerpts not as a means for promoting a particular way of looking at democracy, but rather they have wisely chosen works that will enable students to carry on an informed discourse on the meaning and purposes of democratic principles and practices. Theories of Democracy is a must for every student of democracy's past, present, and future.  Free Download Theoretische Informatik - ganz praktisch Deutsch | 2016 | ISBN: 3110412071 | 432 Seiten | PDF (True) | 3 MB Die theoretische Informatik ist für viele Studierende ein Schreckgespenst, weil formale Einstiegshürden die Bezüge zur Praxis verschleiern. In diesem Lehrbuch wird das Theoretische aufgerollt, wie es ursprünglich entstanden ist: zur Lösung ganz praktischer Probleme. So ergeben sich Formalismen als logische Notwendigkeit, mathematische Eigenarten werden greifbar, komplexe Theorien verlieren ihren Schrecken. Radikal studierendenorientiert führt das Buch in Automatentheorie, Grammatiken, Berechenbarkeits- und Komplexitätstheorie ein.
